Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I'm building an app in .net and accessing the app's folder for resources. So far everything is going smoothly, but i have no idea how to refresh the token in my app. I tried using the example code from OauthBasic from github, but i have a vague understanding of it and doesn't work for me. Would appreciate some help and guidance with it as i have no idea how to set it up. Thanks in advance.
Name all your vars properly to avoid confusion! For instance, is 'RedirectUri' really means redirect URI or ... something else? ![]()
I copied the code from the repo.
They are named almost the same
and they will be temporary as i don't need oauth on users for my app.
private static readonly Uri RedirectUri = new Uri(LoopbackHost + "authorize");
var redirectUri = await HandleJSRedirect(http);
@Melisek For the 400 error, please share the full error message as well as the relevant code snippet.
I'm catching an HttpRequestException using this
catch(HttpRequestException ex)
{
Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
trying to get acces using this
private async Task<List<string>> GetUpdateList(string dirPath)
{
List<string> list = new List<string>();
var files = await dbx.Files.ListFolderAsync(dirPath);
fileNames.Clear();
foreach (var item in files.Entries.Where(i => i.IsFile))
{
fileNames.Add(item.Name);
list.Add(item.Name[..^4]);
}
return list;
}
And it logs
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request).

'dbx' object seems not properly initialized.
Take a look how have you initialized it.
Yep, i was setting a different refresh token after i requested one from the api. Now everything works perfectly! Thanks for your time.
